"It is possible," Says Wan Lo, admitting his Fallibility, "That many men have so much Money because they earned it." Hashimura Tai Has been a success in Life. It is very strange. For according to Who's Who, He was never a newsboy. "Ah, my dear young man," (Wan Lo is speaking to me) "The wish is sometimes, Besides the mother of thought, The entire ancestry, too." Wan Lo is cautious. "Follow not in the footsteps Of great men," he says, "For frequently you will find That these great men had big feet." Old Wan Lo is kind. "There is hope," he believes, "for The man who says the Obvious: He may become The President of the Land." Hashimura Tai Is a cultured gentleman Who has the courage Of his convictions. But he Keeps them only to himself! It has been revealed That money talks. Wan Lo says That money often Whispers, and that sometimes it Tells an incredible tale. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONG OF KAREN, THE DANCING CHILD by KATHERINE MANSFIELD AFTER TU FU (THEY SAY YOU'RE STAYING IN A MOUNTAIN TEMPLE) by MARVIN BELL LUNCH AT A CLUB by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET THE GIANTS OF HISTORY by JAMES GALVIN DESPAIR by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON QUEST by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON |
